I'm sorry I should have written to you sooner.

An Open Apology To Myself

Dear me,

I am sorry for everything I have put you through. I haven't placed enough effort into you but rather placed it in him or in other people and have chosen to ignore you. I am sorry that you have spent nights crying yourself to sleep with no one to comfort you, not even yourself. I have placed your self-worth well below the bar and that should have never happened. I let you turn off your confidence, your happiness, your aspirations, your reasoning to move forward and the reason you do everything in your life at this exact moment.

I let you feel worthless at one point and let you believe that you have to be dependent on others rather than on yourself. I let you listen to the negativity that has been plastered around you and in your face.

I don't recognize you through your own eyes, in the shiny bright mirror that is looking back at yourself.

Yeah...I have no clue who she is now.

At this time, I am a stranger to myself.

Why? Why did I let you do this to yourself...

I have always shaped your mind to be yourself, to be the person you were born to be and to never let a single soul influence you, yet at this moment you have. You let someone influence you, you let people's mistakes and screw-ups affect you. You lost your mindset and game plan that you have set yourself.

STOP DOING THAT.

Stop letting people's mistakes affect you.

Stop letting people let you down.

This right here is a sign, I'm talking to you. I'm YELLING at you. I'm crying for you to understand.

To understand that...

I have realized what I have let you done. I have realized that you are not yourself & that I let you become a completely different person then what I let you set up to be.

I have realized your true self-worth.

Do not let anyone diminish it, no soul, no person, no human in existence should have that right.

You are worth more than what you mentally put yourself at.

You are worth the stars in the sky

a flooded room of lights

an everlasting love

a person to never leave your side

to bring the morning sun & the evening night to your doorstep...

Sincerely, me

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
